Product Details:

"A government of laws, and not of men" is one of the most famous John Adams quotes. Adams was the second President of the United States and a key Founding Father. The line comes from John Adams’ 1774 essay, "Novanglus: A History of the Dispute with America from Its Origin, in 1754, to the Present Time." The full quote - "But a constitution of government once changed from freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. A government of laws, and not of men." This quote expresses the foundational idea that a republic should be governed by established laws, not by the whims or arbitrary decisions of individuals in power.
